Samira Shahbandar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samira Shahbandar( persian ) was allegedly Saddam Hussein's second wife. She is supposedly the mother of his third son, Ali, though members of Saddam's family claim that Ali is actually his grandson. She was introduced to Saddam by one of his favorite servants, Kemal Hana Gegeo. Uday Hussein took this as an insult to his mother, Saddam's cousin and first wife. In October 1988, at a party thrown in the honor of Suzanne Mubarak, the wife of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Uday beat and stabbed Gegeo to death, bludgeoning Gegeo repeatedly in front of horrified guests.

Samira lives in Beirut.
